GiiKER Smart Four 3D AI-Powered 4-in-a-Row Game for 1-2 Players

Fun game. A family member showed me this at Christmas and I was hooked. Get it and play with friends. Good luck beating the AI

A fun, challenging game

This is a super cool game. All new level of 4 in a row. You can play against someone or against the "machine" in three different difficult levels (but be warned - even level 1 is hard). This is great for a solo game and activate your brain. I highly recommend it!!!

Great game! Love having to think 3 Dimensionally! It really is like playing connect four on 3 different dimensions. Trying to sneak in a win without the other player noticing is so fun! The computer player is challenging to play, especially at higher levels. This game was an instant hit at parties. It's quick to set up and games can be really fast or super slow if both players are good. I highly recommend this as a gift for yourself, but especially for others! As for playing the game, it's easy. Just put your piece down on a circled spot and push down. Then the game will tell you what row and column based on the location and color of the arrow on the side of the right side of the game - where to put the opponent's piece. You can win down, across, diagonally, and on different levels. You can even win with a staircase diagonal move. Just an important note the pieces can be stacked a maximum of 5 pieced. Had to read the directions for that. It's a great game! Treat yourself!

Really fun and challenging game. It's great that there is an AI version to play if there is no one else around.

I love Connect4, and this is the logical continuation of the game idea. The game board is solid even if somewhat with a toy design. Batteries (2x AA) are not included. The clever part is fairly hidden and, what the maker calls AI, it's a clever tracking of game pieces for single player mode and as a referee when two humans play against each other. The game pieces are straightforward, and for the game board to know where which and how many pieces are, one must press the piece momentarily down onto the board to activate the switch. That's pretty easy, but the pieces nest somewhat and if you're not careful you may knock neighboring stacks over. The trouble with that is trying to remember how they were set to restore the visual cues. The board will not know if you take a stack and rearrange it. There is no app mode that could show the stacks the board kept track of. The easy level is already not child's play. A 6+ age recommendation is probably optimistic, and even adults will spend some time getting used to the 3D game play. The board tries its best to guide the users. Columns are color coded, and the row is indicated by an LED indicator. The latter lights up in the color of the respective column and that makes it possible to pinpoint a particular sport with only five LEDs. The game does not have internet connectivity or a smartphone app. The algorithms are very capable to put up a good game, but I sure would put the term 'AI' in the category of sales puffery. This is really unnecessary as the electronics are good. Overall a great game. The game pieces could be a bit more stable, but that's about the only thing I can think of for things not great. Well, that and the batteries not being included. There is an optional case ($17) if you don't want to use the sturdy box.

This is kind of like a connect four / tic-tac toe hybrid. It's easy to get into and fun to play. I wish Giiker made more of their own cases.

Design: The design is fun, but you have to be sure to push down once and only once when you place a game piece, otherwise it will not correctly announce a win. Fun to play: Although you have to be pretty careful, it is very fun to play, even for adults. Strategy: There is an added layer or strategy, as you would expect going into three dimensions, and that is the main fun here.

Muy buen juego, los niveles de la computadora son elevados, apenas he podido vencerla en el nivel principiante.

The whole family has been really enjoying this game. The AI works very well and hard to beat!

Christmas present for a kid who loves connect 4. More of a challenge for all the grown ups challenging them! Makes you think in 3D so thinking multiple moves ahead is important. Kept everyone entertained, including when the game said someone had one and we couldn't initially see the win.

Es increíble poder jugar contra una AI, me siento en el futuro jugando esto, pero el FUTURO ES AHORA! Te hace pensar muchísimo, y es muy difícil ganarle a la computadora, todo un reto. A todas las personas contra las que he jugado les encanta y no quieren dejar de jugar.

Excellent game! Bought as a family games gift for Christmas… definitely gets the brain going…. Highly recommend for anyone who is looking for a more challenging version of connect 4
